Hawaiian Islands

I've never been to the Hawaiian Islands.

I just learned that today is the day in history, 1898, that the Hawaiian Islands were first annexed by the U.S. Congress. Following quickly after this, the islands became a territory in 1900. Later a U.S. state in 1959.

I would love to go someday if I ever got the chance. The beauty of the islands, the ocean, even the volcanoes.

That I'd like to see.
